I had the pleasure of doing lunch with Dan, the keyboards for Blues Legend Buddy Guy, and I was overjoyed to learn he loved DimSum. I jumped at the chance to try the Chinatown location. We had a bunch of varied stuff from the DimSum Menu, and it was all top top notch. Cant remember exactly what we had, it's a picture menu, and as the waiter didnt seem to speak much English, it was point and shoot. All of it was distinctively yum. Like just about every place you can go in Chinatown, the premises appear slightly run-down, in that "we've been here for a hundred years, and you're coming here to eat, not ogle the architecture" way. Turned out not to be cheap-bill for 2 = $80 + change without any booze. But the quality of the food was over the top. Don't mind paying the freight, when the feed is worth it.

Everything we ordered here was delicious. We got a good spread, including a tofu dish, beef dish,…read moreand my personal favorite - the pork XO noodles. These noodles were HUGE and spiced to perfection. Service was a bit slow and unfriendly, and it was a bit confusing ordering some items from a tablet, and others from paper menus. Aside from that, MingHin Cuisine offered quality food and really neat ambiance!

Modern Chinese Cook Book…read more.. Just in case you're wondering what it stands for and no I had no idea but did notice a cookbook in the restaurant but still didn't put two and two together. This Chinese restaurant is located on the ground floor in Chinatown and from the outside you have no idea what they have to offer even as you enter this cozy spot dishes out some serious bites. Menu takes a moment to figure out as they have dishes but are able to serve it with various sauces/or protein and does have indications of the spiciness level which surely helps in the decision making and be mindful as it all are served family style. My very first meal in Chicago I was ready for anything and the first impression was impressive for me personally as everything came out fast and hot and done right along with lovely presentation a quick pic was all it took as we were hungry. - Sour Pickle and Fish Fillet Soup It had the numbing sauce which I didn't understand and was afraid until I tried it and actually loved it the sour picked paired perfectly and that numbing soup was just that lol but wasn't spicy just left literally an impression on my palate - Chicken Egg Roll was just that very crispy and delicious though the presentation was unique as it came with a bowl of sauce packets - Cheng Du Spicy Wonton was probably one of my favorite simple but full of flavor drenched with sauce as it had a kick but not too spicy - American Broccoli with Flank Steak the classic that was good veggies done just right and tender meat - Eggplant Spicy Garlic Sauce was another favorite though I love eggplant it was tender and saucy that was a tad salty but gave it a good kick - Cold Noodle with Sesame Sauce was the last that we ordered so I was already getting filled up but it was nice and light that did accent and balance out the rest of the meal. Service is very nice and friendly especially with all of our questions since it was our first time and didn't disappoint and can see why there's always a wait and yes it's worth it if you're ever in Chinatown. Thank you!

MCCB's is one of Chinatown's most popular restaurants and I can see why…read more Pros: The food is very good. My favorite items are the orange chicken, garlic green beans and their dumplings. Although orange chicken is relatively basic, there's isn't! It's crispy, orangey and savory. The best I've had. Their green beans, easily rival din tai fung's and their dumpling super good as well. A great broth, bouncy chewy wrapper, and super flavorful filling! The restaurant itself is cute & service is pretty decent, as well. Cons: Their crispy chili chicken wasn't my favorite, but I'm not the biggest fan of Szechuan chilies or dark meat. There was also a tang in the after taste of the chicken that I didn't love, but it was fresh and the crisp was really nice! There's also almost always a wait and the place and tables are pretty small, so if you're like me and like to order a lot of things, you may have trouble fitting things.

For starters, we tried the Deep-Fried Pork Belly. It had a crunchy exterior with a dusting of chili powder, while the meat was incredibly tender. It came with a sweet chili dipping sauce that balanced the heat of the chili powder perfectly. I don't have much tolerance for spicy food, but I kept going back for "just one more bite." It was that addictive! For the main course, we tried the Mongolian Beef paired with Egg Fried Rice. The beef was so tender it practically melted in your mouth, and the vegetables had a nice bite to them--the perfect combination. The egg fried rice had just the right amount of garlic and egg, and it paired beautifully with the beef. I can't forget to mention the service. I felt like I was at my auntie's house--warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared for.

The seating and place was clean- I just be prepared to wait and skip on the dumplings since it wasn't the best quality.

We ordered like the PERFECT amount of food and best variety. Roast duck: I honestly don't know if I've ever had duck before, but I'm a duck believer now. The skin on theirs was the perfect crispy shatter texture and the duck was sooooo juicy! I don't know why I was always so worried about it being gamey. They give you fluffy steamed bao buns, a sauce, and scallions on the side as well as duck fried rice! Turnip cake: Obviously a must any time I come to dim sum. I've never seen turnip in any other form than this. Japanese salt & pepper tofu: My FAVORITE dish ever. Any fried salt & pepper tofu always makes me happy. They use a creamy egg-like tofu and the outside is lightly crispy with amazing aromatics stir fried in. Steamed white rice on the side is perfect with this. Loved everything else my dinner buds picked and we were super full by the end! Service was good and food came out fast and scorching hot! ***Parking in the area is treacherous (not the restaurants fault, but reconsider driving if possible bc cell signal can be zero to none around the garages if you get lucky) ***Their website allows you to request a reservation as long as it's 3 hours before your desired time.

The good stuff is the soy sauce noodles, shumai, congee, shrimp rice rolls. The bad are the hargow and the shrimp and chives dumplings. This place does not appear to grasp the texture of these two dishes. The wrappers keep coming off for these. Lastly, the service and communication is bad here. On my last day I wanted to get some to go food here. It took more than 50 minutes from order via phone to gettin the food. After waiting more than half an hour at restaurant I decided to ask them why it's taking so long and they said because of some baked egg tarts they didn't make yet. I asked how much longer it would take and they refused to tell me. Almost missed my flight because of this. Every time I came up to ask, they tell me a new item they are waiting for. I even asked if I can swap out for something they already have but no response and no timing update. I wish management would step in and at least offer some solution so I can be on my way. Hopefully they'll fix this in the future.

kams is really a small place with a big reputation. i drive 50 mins every few days to get their combination lo mein noodles. panda express or other chinese restaurants cannot compare to them. It is always busy and the kitchen is clean. The food is great. I love the variety. The egg rolls are delicious and everything is fresh. I have never had a problem with the food or the staff.

As always I have to note that there's a reason these places can do this. They most likely buy old frozen meat on the verge of expiration or "technically expired on that day" for pennies with the intention of getting it out the door quickly. The interior I noted might seem clean, but there's noticeable cobwebs everywhere. It wouldn't be that hard to just vacuum the waiting area every once in awhile and I never understand the reason why these places almost never do it. At least there's plenty of chairs and even tables if someone wants to set them up and eat inside (although I somehow doubt they intend to let people eat inside so it may be a relic of the past.) I ordered my usual test of orange chicken lunch special. The cashier didn't say much and when they did I couldn't understand a word they said. They got my order out within 10 minutes. As I started making my way out some bum attempted to block the doorway and beg for money despite the obvious "No soliciting sign." I don't know who he thought he was trying to intimidate because he would've just ended up at Roseland Community Hospital across the street. Luckily he ended up making the right decision & backing off. Looks wise you can tell they fried the chicken extremely hard. They either overcooked it by accident or were intentionally trying to hide the taste of expired food. The end result were literal bricks of chicken that the meager plastic fork they included couldn't even pierce. Not to mention the chicken was of course dry. The orange sauce is ok, but rather mild. They put just the right amount of sauce so that it doesn't spill yet it still covers all of the chicken. The shrimp fried rice itself was way blander than I'm used to. You don't even taste the soy sauce. They also skimped out majorly on the shrimp since there was only a few pieces for these huge mounds of rice. I was so disappointed that I tried saving the rice by refrying it with more soy sauce and adding toasted sesame seed oil, oyster sauce, carrots, green onions, bok choy, etc. It ended up being much better than what they sold me otherwise the original dish most likely would've ended up in the trash.
